What does "PUMA" stands in context of Robotics?
- (a)Programmable Used Machine to Assemble
- (b)Programmed Utility Machine for Assembly
- (c)Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly
- (d)Programmed Utility Machine to Assemble
Correct — C, Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly. In robotics, PUMA stands for Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly — a classic industrial robotic arm design (also expanded as Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) widely used in assembly-line automation.
- (a)Programmable Used Machine to Assemble — Not the standard expansion; the correct middle word is 'Universal', for 'Assembly'.
- (b)Programmed Utility Machine for Assembly — It is 'Programmable Universal', not 'Programmed Utility'.
- (d)Programmed Utility Machine to Assemble — Incorrect expansion; the accepted form is Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly.
PUMA is an iconic articulated industrial robot introduced by Unimation (from a Victor Scheinman design). Its six-axis arm made it a standard for assembly, pick-and-place and research robotics.
